Cleveland Officer Accused Of Recording Himself Urinating On A 12-Year Old Girl
A Cleveland police officer that has been a part of the unit for 5 years, has been accused of attempted to kidnap a 12-year old girl who was waiting for a school bus and later filmed himself urinating on her.
According to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office, on Aug. 16, off-duty Officer Solomon Nhiwatiwa, 34, approached z young girl near Euclid Avenue while she was waiting for the school bus. Soloman asked the girl if she wanted a ride to school and after she refused, he drove away.
Around a minute later, he parked his car, walked up to her, exposed his genitals and urinated on her while filming the incident with his cell phone. Afterwards, he got back in his car and drove away.
“These actions are impossible to comprehend,” said Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley. “My office will hold him accountable and ensure that he never holds the position of police officer again.”
He has been charged with attempted kidnapping, criminal child enticement, public indecency, pandering obscenity involving a minor, disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, endangering children, assault and attempted interference of custody, according to court records.
Authorities said the suspect was arrested by the Euclid Police Department Tuesday following an investigation.
Soloman has a history of inappropriate behavior and has been reprimanded for all of it. Earlier this year, he received a four-day suspension after he failed to care for a radio and batteries assigned to him. In 2018, Soloman was suspended twice. In one incident, he was given a six-day suspension for insubordination. In the other incident, he was given an eight-day suspension for unprofessional conduct.
Soloman Nhiwatiwa’s case is being monitored by CPD’s Internal Affairs unit, and he is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 26. His currently suspended without pay.
